Hotel La Mirande

I was startled to learn that when we arrived at the hotel, the Fete de Musique, or France-wide Music Festival, was happening that night. No one told us in advance. If I had known, I would have chosen a hotel further from the DJ blasting very loud music that reverberated in our room until 2 AM. We were only told at check-in and offered airplane-like spongy earplugs. No discount, no offer to host our dinner, no apologies!! This otherwise lovely hotel should have warned us in advance or reduced their rates to compensate for the fact that the DJ was stationed just outside our hotel. Also, the air conditioning was awful throughout the hotel, except in our room. Very unhappy guest who has traveled the world and believes she deserves the courtesy that was NOT afforded to us.

Go and enjoy the spirit of Provence here at La Mirande. We were welcomed with fresh fruit and a box of artisan chocolates. The breakfast buffet was my favorite experience here. You are steps from all of the historical sites and the air conditioning during the summer heat wave proved invaluable.

This lovely hotel is located just behind the Palais des Papes in Avignon, making it extremely convenient for walking around the historic center. The stone walls along the path to the palace make you feel as though you're stepping into the Middle Ages—it’s a magical experience. Breakfast is simple yet special, with homemade jams, dried fruits, and other touches that make each morning feel warm and personal. Every room, as well as the dining area, has a romantic atmosphere that makes your stay truly delightful. As it's a historic building, the bathrooms and facilities may feel a bit outdated, and you won’t find many modern systems. Still, the hotel makes every effort to accommodate guests comfortably, and we didn’t find these aspects to be a problem during our stay. Driving up to the hotel can be a bit tricky due to its location in the old town, so I recommend arriving with a driver who knows the local streets well. Overall, it’s a charming and memorable place to stay, full of character and warmth.

So charming! Wonderful service. The dinner at La Table Haute was exceptional! My family and I highly recommend. Best regards, The Spagnoli and Interrante Family

Overrated is the word I describe the hotel. Room was ok but with faulty A/C. Laundry was not available as advertised until we insisted. Somehow a solution was found, Breakfast ok. The hotel did not met our expectations specially in relation to the daily rate. We decided to move out after two nights spite of the hassle to look for an alternative and move.
